Raise an emperor as a villain

Chapter 60 Revealing the Secret of the Palace

The morning three days later was the day Ming Jue planned to move out.When I woke up in the morning, I saw the first snow of this winter outside, and the jade and silver flakes were still floating in the sky.

"My lord, it's snowing outside, are you still leaving today?" Ying Shisan asked outside through the thick curtain.

Ying Shisan naturally didn't want to leave, he didn't have any relatives, and the only acquaintance with him was the brother of the Shadow Guard.Most of the Shadow Guards followed Ming Jue into the palace, and the rest stayed in Su Wang's mansion.If Lu Hengxiu moved to Fayun Temple a few years ago, he would have to follow, and he would not be able to drink with his brothers on New Year's Eve.

Hearing this, Lu Hengxiu opened the door and invited Ying Shisan, who was standing outside, into the room.

"Why don't you leave? Fayun Temple is in the city, and it's not a remote mountain temple. Why can't you go?" Lu Hengxiu asked back, then thought that Ying Shisan seemed unwilling to leave, and said: "If you don't want to follow I'll go, just send me back to myself."

"My lord, I, I don't mean that. Shisan followed you up the mountain of swords and down the sea of ​​fire without even frowning. How could he leave?"

Ying Shisan became anxious when he heard the words. Although he really didn't want to leave, it was his duty to protect Lu Hengxiu, how could he shirk it?

"Thank you for your hard work. As soon as the emperor ascended the throne, everyone else went straight to the sky and the sky. Only you have to stay with me, a commoner." Lu Hengxiu said apologetically.

"My lord, you are joking. What is there for people like us to rise to the sky? It's just a knife in the master's hand, and only adults treat us as human beings. And ah! Although your lord is a commoner now, you are indeed the emperor's heart People above! Being able to follow the young master is a blessing that others cannot envy!" Ying Shisan said embarrassedly.

Although he was blunt, but after following Lu Hengxiu for so long, he could see some clues between the two of them.

"My lord, I don't know. You were taken away by King Qing's people in the Huajin Building that day, and the emperor was going crazy. He only returned to the mansion at the time of Xu, so he took his people to the Huajin Building to wait for him without taking a rest. Let's go." Thinking of the situation at that time, Ying Shisan still has lingering fears in his heart.If something really happened to Lu Hengxiu at that time, he really wouldn't be able to survive.

Lu Hengxiu's heart was moved by Ying Shisan's words, but he held back and said, "Go and pack your things!"

After sitting for nearly an hour, Lu Hengxiu got a little stiff, so he got up and walked around.As soon as he went out, he saw Ying Shisan rushing over in a hurry.

"Young master, hurry up and pick him up, the emperor is here."

After hearing this, Lu Hengxiu followed Ying Shisan to the door, thinking that Mingjue probably had business to find Luo Wenxi, and he had never come to him with such a big fanfare before.Thinking of this, Mingjue felt a little bit unhappy, and Mingjue might not be able to leave now.

So everyone in the entire family went to the door to greet him, and Shanhu Longsui welcomed Ming Jue in.Although Mingjue came out this time, he didn't bring many people with him, but he brought Tianshu with him.

Sure enough, Mingjue came to talk to Luo Wenxi about political affairs, but the two of them talked without avoiding others, especially Mingjue deliberately grabbed Lu Hengxiu who was about to leave.

After staying until noon, Ming Jue took advantage of the opportunity to stay for dinner, and together with Luo Wenxi and Lu Hengxiu, the three of them made a table.

Ming Jue sat at the central seat, with Lu Hengxiu on the left and Luo Wenxi on the right.There is a Confucian teaching, "Don't talk when you eat and don't talk when you sleep." At this time, the three of them followed this teaching very well, and no one opened their mouths to speak.

The meal was eaten in silence, but Luo Wenxi was restless.He always felt as if he was superfluous, perhaps it was because of his presence that he kept the two of them silent.

In order not to hinder the conversation between the two, Luo Wenxi spoke cautiously and said to Ming Jue: "Your Majesty, I have run out of ministers. In the afternoon, I made an appointment with Mr. Lin from the Imperial Academy to see their cultivation records. I can no longer accompany you."

Ming Jue showed joy when he heard this, and waved his hands: "Sir, go! Don't come back in a hurry."

"Yes." Luo Wenxi saluted and said goodbye, as if fleeing and leaving.

"Jane, I heard you're moving out?" After a while, Ming Jue asked the people around him.

Lu Hengxiu had been holding a pair of chopsticks carelessly picking dishes, but when he heard this, he put down his chopsticks and raised his head to respond, "Yeah!"

Ming Jue saw that Lu Hengxiu had something on his mind, and thought about what he had done recently, so he thought about it and asked, "Jane, what kind of rumors have you heard?"

"There are no gossips. Is it a rumor that the emperor brought two beauties to Chengqian Hall?" Lu Hengxiu didn't know what was wrong with him, and he didn't intend to be angry at first, but his words involuntarily brought a few sparks.

Seeing this, Ming Jue became even more anxious, and hurriedly argued: "Jian Zhi, you don't know, Duan Wen is forcing me to choose a concubine. I thought that instead of asking the courtiers to send people who don't know the details, it is better to ask for someone from my mother. No matter how indifferent I am, she is my biological mother after all, and she will never really want to harm me."

"Your Majesty, there is no need to explain to me. Your Majesty's foresight is excellent." Lu Hengxiu looked away angrily, but there was a sour feeling on his nose.

Ming Jue was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, and said in surprise and joy: "Jian Zhi, are you jealous?"

When Lu Hengxiu was asked by Ming Jue, his face turned red in an instant. He suddenly stood up and walked out without saying a word.

"Jane..." Ming Jue chased after him, and saw that Lu Hengxiu lost his usual calm demeanor and ran all the way towards his small courtyard.

Knowing that Ming Jue was chasing him, Lu Hengxiu ran even faster, turned around and closed the door as soon as he entered the house, but was still blocked by Ming Jue who was chasing him.

Ming Jue stuck his palm in the crack of the door, how could Lu Hengxiu dare to close it, so he had no choice but to let Ming Jue forcefully break into his room.

After Mingjue broke in, he closed the door and hugged Lu Hengxiu in his arms.

"Jane, Jane..." Ming Jue murmured Lu Hengxiu's name repeatedly, his voice low and hoarse, full of irresistible temptation.

"What is the emperor doing? Chasing me into my room in broad daylight, and..." Lu Hengxiu struggled angrily.

Ming Jue had practiced martial arts, so he restrained Lu Hengxiu with all his strength.

"In short, don't make trouble, I miss you, I didn't come to argue with you." Ming Jue explained.Then he kissed Lu Hengxiu's lips.

The fiery atmosphere was on the verge of breaking out, igniting between the two lovers, and when Ming Jue left, a silver thread was drawn between the lips and tongue.

Lu Hengxiu gasped like a fish that had been away from the shore for a long time, and his cheeks were stained with an intoxicating crimson.

The two entangled and walked to the bed, Ming Jue pulled off Lu Hengxiu's collar, revealing his frail chest.Lu Hengxiu suffered an arrow wound on his chest, but now he has healed, and even the scab has fallen off, leaving only a white mark.

Mingjue kissed the scar over and over again, chanting words, Lu Hengxiu was about to lower his head to hear what Qingmingjue said, but was suddenly hugged.The world was spinning and the body couldn't help it, so there was no way to torture him clearly.

Ming Jue left in the evening, and the snow outside also stopped. Although it had been snowing for most of the day, it was too small, and there was only a thin layer of snow on the ground.

Lu Hengxiu was lying on his back on the bed, a few sparks popped out from the stove in the room from time to time, which was the only sound in the quiet space.There is not only a stove in this room, but also the earth dragon was lit early, so it doesn't feel cold at all.

Lu Hengxiu closed his eyes and rested for a while, but when he wanted to get up, he felt his body was soaked in oil, limp and weak, so he fell back on the bed.

Ying Shisan knew that Ming Jue had just left Lu Hengxiu's place, so she knew it, so she didn't bother at the moment.Only when it was time for dinner at night did he ask Lu Hengxiu where he was going to eat through the door.

Lu Hengxiu was too lazy to go to the dining room, so he said that it would be fine to have someone deliver it to his room, and he didn't go out again.

And Ming Jue returned to the palace, and before he had time to rest in Chengqian Palace, a young eunuch from Shoukang Palace sent a message, saying that the Empress Dowager invited Ming Jue to Shoukang Palace for a meal.

So Mingjue put on another cloak and went to Shoukang Palace.

Ming Jue still respected and loved this imperial grandmother very much, and the meal was pleasant.After dinner, the Empress Dowager left Ming Jue to talk again, and Ming Jue agreed.

"I heard that you just came back from outside? What are you doing out in such a snowy day?" The Empress Dowager asked, holding Ming Jue's hand.

"I didn't go anywhere else, I just went to King Su's mansion to visit Mr. Luo, who was my imperial teacher the day before."

The empress dowager laughed when she heard the words, "You still want to hide it from Ai's family. If you go to Su Wang's mansion, I'm afraid it's because the drunkard doesn't want to drink."

"Grandmother knows that Jane lives in the palace?"

"In short, are these Lu Hengxiu's words? Why doesn't Aijia know? Although Aijia is old and dizzy, his heart is still not confused." The queen mother observed the change in Mingjue's expression and continued: "At the beginning Aijia sent him to you, and warned him, never thought he would be so determined to go his own way."

"How did the emperor's grandmother know?" Ming Jue still felt a little unbelievable. The relationship between himself and Lu Hengxiu was secret, so it shouldn't be known by the empress dowager so soon.

"Do you think you are hiding it well? It's a pity that there has never been an impenetrable wall in this world. On the second day after Emperor Rui passed away, you went out of the palace to meet him regardless of the overall situation, and even used Luo Wenxi to stay in the palace to cover up your affair. It doesn't matter, do you really think that Aijia is blind?" The Empress Dowager said at the end, her tone became more and more severe.

After hearing this, Ming Jue immediately knelt on the ground, and said firmly: "Grandmother, it's not Jian Zhi who seduced me, but I threatened him. If you want to blame, you can blame me."

The Empress Dowager sighed and said in a moderate tone: "Get up! Aijia has stayed in the palace all her life, and she hasn't seen anything. You and Lu Hengxiu are good boys, and it is because of this Aijia I don’t want to see you go down this road.”

"There are too many times when I can't help myself. Only this path is chosen by myself, and I will definitely stick to it." Ming Jue replied after thinking for a moment.

"The Ai family can't control so much, but it's not appropriate to let courtiers and common people live in your former palace. Let them move out earlier! It's also to avoid losing people's tongue."

"I would like to follow the emperor's grandmother's advice. I would like to move to Fayun Temple. I was going to leave today, but I delayed it because I went." The empress dowager's eyes turned into that charming sycophant.

The Empress Dowager laughed when she heard the words, and scolded: "Aijia just said something casually, and you changed your explanation. You are really protecting him."

"One more thing, the Ai family heard that your mother gave you two beauties, and you brought them back to Chengqian Hall?"

"Yes." Ming Jue agreed, thinking that the Empress Dowager probably let go of his private affairs with Lu Hengxiu.After all, within the palace walls, he is the emperor, so it is not surprising that he likes a man. As long as it does not hinder the country and the succession of the royal heirs, who cares?

"That's good." The Empress Dowager praised Ming Jue's actions, thinking that although he loved Lu Hengxiu, he would not lose his head.

"It's just that it's inappropriate to place it in the Chengqian Palace alone. Since you are a gift from your mother and have received grace, you should also be granted a position."

"But it's up to the emperor's grandmother." Ming Jue didn't care about the two sisters at all, so he didn't expect so much, and at this moment, he didn't care about their status at all.

"Ai's family thinks it's the concubine position. They are not from good backgrounds. Sitting in this position is already elevated."

Ming Jue nodded in agreement, then thought about it and said: "In my opinion, they don't have to be all concubines, that Wu Xia can be made a concubine, Qing He can be a beauty!"

"What's the matter? Seniors and young are in order. If there is a difference, it should be that Qing He has a higher status." Although the Empress Dowager knew that the two sisters had entered Chengqian Palace, the specific matters were not clear by accident.

"It's nothing, I just like Wuxia a bit more." Ming Jue narrowed his eyes slightly and said.

"Okay, you can handle these small things yourself!" The Empress Dowager said indifferently.
